🇺🇸 11th September - 25 years 🇺🇸

Today we observed a minute silence at 13:46 as a mark of respect and solidarity for the 2,977 lives lost, including the 343 fellow Firefighters who paid the ultimate price during the attack on the World Trade Centre in New York 25 years ago.

Gone but never forgotten

Words fail us

Please take a picnic, not a Barbeque

We know that its been pouring down with rain today but that doesn’t mean that the risk to the New Forest from wildfires is over.

Even after everything that has happened over the last few weeks, National Park Authority Ranger Naomi found someone lighting this BBQ last night in Hatchett Moor car park.

Naomi, of course, put it out

BUT please continue to spread the word. The New Forest is still at risk so no BBQs and no fires.

Thank you

Thursday 13th August 2026 - Day 5 of the large fire near Picket Post (A31).

Our crews continue to work through the night to dampen down hot spots and attack any new flare ups. Today our crews were split with some assigned to the right flank in P7 while other members crewed M4 at the head.

As the Sun began to rise over the forest that morning, one of our crew took this photo as they helped lay lengths of hose across to supply water to the right flank.
